The Pure-Hearted Top Is Relentlessly Pursued by the Villainous Boss

[Set in a fictional alternate world, unrelated to reality. Please don't conflate it with the real world.]

Li Ju transmigrated into an insectoid romance novel where readers could choose their favorite love interest, becoming Ling Lvsise, a cannon-fodder insect everyone despised.

As luck would have it, the original novel's cannon-fodder uke, Xilius, was there with his red hair disheveled, biting at his own bloodied, mutilated arm. His gaze was vicious as he prepared to crush Ling Lvsise's throat.

Ling Lvsise: Help!

After his attempts to reform Xilius failed, he resolutely packed him off to an insectoid prison.

Just then, a mechanical voice sounded in his head: Warning. The villain's resentment level has increased and is approaching a breakdown. Host, take effective action immediately!

Ling Lvsise: Wait, nobody said the cannon-fodder uke was the villain.

??? So you know to turn when the car's already crashed into the wall, and you know to wipe your snot when it's already reached your mouth????

If he went to prison, Ling Lvsise's only ending would be death.

Ling Lvsise pushed his aircraft to top speed and rescued Xilius just before the latter pulled the trigger.

Having found the right person, he tried to reform the villain and lower his resentment level.

Who knew the villain would look at him with increasingly bold and brazen eyes, even openly trying to take advantage of him every time they met!

Ling Lvsise: "..." Thanks, but I'm not selling my body.

But for the sake of lowering the resentment level, he had no choice but to endure it in silence and bear the humiliation.

Under Ling Lvsise's "grudging," "hands-on" care, Xilius's flippant, casual attitude gradually softened, and his resentment level kept dropping. It was almost at rock bottom!

So why was Xilius looking at him more and more strangely?

And what's more...

The gentle seme who hated him to the core, the green-tea seme who was the original owner's sworn enemy, and the white-haired beauty who claimed to be straight, the Insect Mother, all kissed him!

Ling Lvsise: I'm straight. Thanks, but no thanks.

Mission complete. The villain's resentment level was zero. Xilius successfully rose to the pinnacle of power, and Ling Lvsise completed his mission, faked his death, and ran away, ready to go home.

He planned to take one last look at this world.

But then...

The Star Network posted a bounty of ten billion new coins: a huge reward for the scummy insect Ling Lvsise.

As expected, Ling Lvsise was caught.

He had no idea what he'd done to attract such a formidable mess of romantic entanglements.

The red-haired officer sat on a towering throne, casually crossing and uncrossing his legs as he snapped his fingers.

Xilius rose. As Ling Lvsise looked on in terror, Xilius brought his thin lips close to his ear, as intimate as a lover.

"Did you really think you could get away from me?"

[My love, my only adorable male, my most delicious prey.

You will never escape me...]

Recommended upcoming seme-focused story: "My Rival Is a Dragon-Blooded Protagonist, but He Confessed to Me"

Yu Xu thought there was one thing he'd done wrong in his previous life: he hadn't killed Yan Beicheng early enough. That let Yan Beicheng grow his power rapidly.

Not only did he steal Yu Xu's woman, but Yu Xu's own parents became obsessed with him, too.

Yu Xu couldn't accept it. But after he provoked Yan Beicheng again and again, the consequences were dire.

He went bankrupt and ended up in a truly sorry state, reduced to scavenging bottles by the roadside.

Yan Beicheng's car was parked nearby. The man inside laughed as he watched Yu Xu pick up bottles.

Yu Xu was so furious that he had a heart attack and died on the spot.

This time, with a chance to start over, he set himself a modest goal:

Kill Yan Beicheng a hundred million times.

Yu Xu changed his name and started out as one of Yan Beicheng's underlings.

Who was Yan Beicheng? The strongest fighter in the world, ranked number one globally. If he stamped his foot, cities across the globe would tremble.

Rumor had it that Yan Beicheng went for men and women alike, taking whoever caught his eye, one at a time or in pairs.

Yu Xu cursed him for making his life so miserable in his previous life, while playing the loyal underling and fussing over Yan Beicheng.

But he felt that Yan Beicheng was suddenly acting very strange, especially around him.

Why was he being so bashful?

Whatever. First, Yu Xu would teach him a lesson.

Yu Xu invited Yan Beicheng to a grove, planning to ambush him without hiding his identity.

In the moonlit forest, the blade was already showing from Yu Xu's sleeve. He waited for Yan Beicheng to come close.

Before he could strike...

"Yu Xu, I know how you feel, but I'm not ready yet. Can you give me some time to think about it?"

Yu Xu nodded in confusion and stood there for half the night, watching Yan Beicheng walk away, knife in hand.

What exactly did this guy mean?

What feelings did I supposedly have?

Why would he need to be ready for me to kill him?

After thinking about it all night without finding an answer, Yu Xu decided to forget it and just get on with it.

He kept asking Yan Beicheng out. Yan Beicheng kept turning him down, always saying he needed more time to get ready.

Yu Xu was tearing his hair out. Seriously, what exactly do you need to get ready for?!

He couldn't take it anymore!

Yu Xu burst through the door with a knife.

On the big bed, Yan Beicheng was watching a video, his face bright red. When Yu Xu barged in, he quickly shut his laptop and pulled the covers over himself.

He stammered at Yu Xu, "W-why did you come in? Get out!"

Yu Xu looked at his own photo on the laptop screen and realized he had made another mistake in this life.

Whatever. A mistake was a mistake!

First, he'd kill the guy a hundred million times.
